My first 3 attempts resulted in the most hilariously painful crashes I've seen in a game in many years. Thumbs up so far!
I did a small hop before the crevasse and then leaned forward fast and whanged my head on the rocks in a fatality more brutal than anything you could find in GTA.
once you guys start playing with the custom course editor make sure and put a jump at the top of the hill. Then place the skier's starting point inside that jump. Fun with physics
